Hi, if I have to reboot my system without a clean shutdown the recovered filesystems are corrupt. Files which I edited recently and maybe not yet written to the buffer are recovered with no or corrupt contents. For example: $ ls -l config -rw------- 1 bond bond 19622 Jan 14 12:04 .config $ stat config File: `config' Size: 19622 Blocks: 0 IO Block: 4096 regular file Device: fe01h/65025d Inode: 20967432 Links: 1 Access: (0600/-rw-------) Uid: ( 1000/ bond) Gid: ( 1000/ bond) Access: 2004-01-14 12:27:01.000000000 +0100 Modify: 2004-01-14 12:04:16.000000000 +0100 Change: 2004-01-14 12:04:16.000000000 +0100 $ cat config $ less config "config" may be a binary file. See it anyway? ^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@ [...] $ strace -e write cat config write(1, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 4096) = 4096 write(1, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 4096) = 4096 write(1, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 4096) = 4096 write(1, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 4096) = 4096 write(1, "\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0\0"..., 3238) = 3238 I can force this error by pressing the reset button with an open file in my text editor. It seems to have nothing to do with the underlying file system. I have XFS and ext3 partitions. I would like to know, if it is a LVM problem.
